Omar Epps improvised an action scene with a much older actress, and ended up sending her to the hospital ... according to a new suit filed by the actress.

Donzaleigh Abernathy claims she was filming a scene with Epps in May 2016 for the USA show "Shooter" where his character was supposed to murder her character, when he "completely deviated from the script" and "threw his left forearm with full force at [her] right arm," and broke it. Abernathy says she was 59 at the time,

and claims a much younger and stronger Epps was negligent and reckless in his handling of her during the scene. According to the docs ... along with breaking her arm, he also dropped her hard on the floor and injured her back. She claims production was stopped and she was rushed to the hospital. Abernathy is suing Epps,

along with Paramount Pictures, for negligence and assault and battery. She's asking for damages for her pain and suffering and wants her medical costs -- present and future -- covered.

A Brooklyn man who spent 18 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit wants a judge to throw out a $40,000 bill for child support he was unable to pay while locked up. Sundhe Moses, 42, was cleared in January of the 1995 drive-by shooting of 4-year-old Shamone Johnson. He was one of nearly a dozen people whose cases were overturned due to the questionable police tactics of now-retired NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella.

Last month, Moses filed papers in Brooklyn Family Court asking a judge to modify or erase his hefty child support bill because he was unable to earn an income through no fault of his own. “The reason that my arrears are the amount they are is because it accrued over a period of 18 1/2 years. During that time, I was incarcerated for a crime I did not commit and therefore was unable to pay,” Moses said in court documents. His ordeal highlights the unique obstacles the wrongfully convicted face upon reentering society. Moses is so broke he can’t afford a lawyer — and family court does not assign parents an attorney until they’re on the brink of going to jail for failure to pay child support. Yet Moses’ bank account was frozen last week due to the unpaid child support. He says his wages from the youth services group Good Shepherd are garnished — $160 of his $380 pay — and he now uses check-cashing businesses. “Many states treat incarceration as voluntary unemployment — and child support continues to

accrue while a convicted person is utterly incapable of earning a living,” said attorney Ron Kuby, who represents Moses in his criminal case. “It adds a crushing and utterly unfair burden to someone trying to get back on their feet. When the person is wrongfully convicted — it’s a ‘WTF!’ moment." At the time of the shooting that landed him behind bars, Moses was 19 and the father of an 8-month-old son, Shaquille. He was paroled in December 2013 for the drive-by at the Prospect Plaza Houses in Brownsville that also wounded four others. He spent the subsequent years fighting for his exoneration and reconnecting with his now-adult son, who is in the Army. Meanwhile, Moses was hit with a bill for a whopping $39,724.82, according to court documents. Nearly $10,000 of the total goes to public assistance and the rest to

Shaquille’s mother, he said. After more than four years of freedom, Moses has only been able to pay $7,247. "When a conviction is vacated in criminal court everything that happened reverses and you start over. I'm asking for family court to do the same thing and put me in the same position where I wouldn't owe anything," Moses told the Daily News. Efforts to reach Shaquille and his mom, Kawana Harper, were unsuccessful. Moses said he has only seen Harper in court since his release. “My son is grown and I want us to get along. When he was growing up he of course didn't know all of this was going on, but now he's aware and doesn't think it’s fair,” Moses said. City Councilwoman Inez Barron introduced a bill last month seeking social services for the family of the wrongfully convicted, more

than 10% of 110 exonerees nationwide as of October were from the state. Moses is expected to sue over his 18 years behind bars. But he must await a decision from prosecutors on whether they will retry his case before suing. The process of negotiating a settlement with the city can last years. Since 2014, more than 25 men and a woman were exonerated either by the Brooklyn district attorney’s Conviction Review

Unit or a judge. Nearly a dozen of those cases of wrongful convictions involved Scarcella. Cynthia Godsoe, an associate professor of law at Brooklyn Law School, noted Moses’ predicament could become more common as district attorneys throughout the city and state review questionable convictions.

“This is a major barrier for someone who is getting released from prison, especially someone who was found to be wrongfully convicted,” Godsoe said. Moses will be back in family court next month. “I don't know anyone in my situation and I don't know how this will go,” he said. Godsoe knew of little precedent for the judge to forgive the funds Moses owes to the mother of his child and the state. “There needs to be legislation to make child support more realistic, maybe a clause added for the wrongfully convicted. Child support is supposed to be in the best interest of child," Godsoe said. “It seems like the right thing to do ... to forgive this.”

Washington, DC — Diamond Rust, a 20-year-old woman from Southeast Washington, DC, was slammed on the ground and brutally arrested by a Metro transit police for not paying to get on a bus. All that happened right in front of her two children.

On Tuesday, Rust, together with her one-year-old son and two-year-old daughter, boarded a bus at Alabama Avenue in Southeast D.C. She reportedly walked past the fare box without paying and sat down. After a while, an undercover police approached her and demanded her to get off the bus. “I’m pacing back and forth like ‘can you hurry up?’ He said he felt threatened with me pacing back and forth,” Rust explained.

She admitted that she didn’t stop pacing and just kept walking. Police also claimed that she kept putting her hands in her pocket and ignoring the police’s commands. “He said I was resisting. He pushed me to the fence,” Rust recalled of the horrifying moment. According to the police report, Rust kept pulling away so the officer had to slam her to the ground to finish the arrest. She was with her two children at the time and they saw the violence.

“The girl lifted my face up and I seen her — my daughter like right there crying. That’s when I started crying,” Rust said. Rust suffers from a fractured knee, open wounds on the face, and four broken teeth. She was rushed to the hospital shortly after the arrest but she was more worried about how this would affect her children.

“My son he don’t even like looking at me now. My daughter keeps saying police did this to mommy.” Rust, a graduating student from Ballou STAY High School, has a DC One fare card which allows her to have a free bus ride. But she doesn’t have it with her on the day of the incident. A picture, however, shows her bag with cash and two smart trip cards.

When asked if she would have done anything differently, Rust told WUSA9, “No. because this is just the person I am.” Rust plans to file a complaint with Metro. Metro Transit Police haven’t further commented yet about the incident.

Lil Pump isn't taking his arrest Wednesday night seriously ... which is the biggest understatement of the week. We got the 17-year-old Thursday at 2:30 PM leaving Sylmar

Juvenile Court, and he was as hyped as ever, showing off his newly acquired jewelry ... an ankle monitor. He was also spittin' bars about popping Xanax and boasting about Gucci tats. ... Pump was arrested for firing a handgun into the door of his

San Fernando Valley residence. He had told cops intruders had fired from the outside in, but cops quickly realized it was the opposite -- that Pump was the shooter and there were no intruders. He was arrested and taken to a Juvenile detention center, because he's still a minor.

A Cardi B team member says she's pregnant -- 3 to 4 months along -- which would make her upcoming business deals and commitments tricky ... costing her big bucks. Sources close to the rapper tell JAMZ RADIO STATION ATLANTA

... Cardi and her team expect to finish a new album before end of summer ... and the plan is to tie the release to a 2-month tour with Bruno Mars, which kicks off in September. When you do the math, you see the problem. If she's at the beginning of the second trimester, she'll give birth sometime in August. And there's more.

Cardi, who had a hugely successful Super Bowl commercial, has other commercial deals on the table. She also has offers to collab with other artists. On top of all that ... she's supposed to start filming a movie sometime next month, which could be problematic once she approaches her 5th month. And don't forget ... she's scheduled to perform at

Coachella in mid-April. If she's a no-show, that would be the second year in a row a huge act bailed because she was with child. As for how much money is on the line ... it varies from project to project, but as a point of reference -- Cardi gets around $100k a show and $60k for nightclub walk-throughs. Cardi says she's not pregnant, but time will certainly tell.

The two women, at first, were not sure why a police officer had approached their table at the Applebee’s in Independence, Mo. They had decided to eat at the restaurant on Friday after a day of shopping at the Independence mall, and their order of chicken wings and mozzarella sticks had just arrived.

The officer informed the women that the Applebee’s staff believed they had eaten at the restaurant the day before and had left without paying for their meals. The accusation seemed absurd to the two women, who began to insist that this was their first time dining at that Applebee’s. Moments later, after being “mocked, humiliated, and embarrassed,” they were kicked out of the restaurant because they were the same race as the people who allegedly committed the crime,

said Alexis Brison, one of the accused women, who posted a video of the incident on Facebook. When the Independence police officer first approached Brison and her friend’s table, they repeatedly explained to him that they had not previously visited the restaurant. The officer asked them, “Why are you yelling?” and “Put yourself in my shoes.” “Can we just pay for our food and leave, because we haven’t done anything?” one of the women asked. When one of the women appears to call someone for advice on what to do next, the officer asked the women why they were “getting worked up for nothing.”

“This is too much of an accusation to call it nothing,” one of the women responded. The woman then broke down crying, and the officer laughed, asking whether she was “really this emotional.” He then informed the women that the restaurant wanted them to pay for their food, leave and never return. “We deal with this all the time. Black people in America gotta deal with this all the time,” one of the women later tells him and the restaurant staff, according to the video. “This is what black people have to deal with.” By Tuesday, the video of the incident went viral, and was viewed an estimated 3.3 million times.

Applebee’s officials in a statement Monday apologized for the restaurant’s actions and said they had fired the manager, server and another employee involved. We do not tolerate racism, bigotry or harassment of any nature,” officials said. Applebee’s officials added that they were temporarily closing the Independence restaurant — about 10 miles east of Kansas City, Mo. — so that the staff could “regroup, reflect, learn and grow from this.” “We are reaching out to the guests involved to apologize directly. We know rebuilding trust with those affected by the incident will take time, and we look forward to finding resolution in the coming days,” officials said.

The Independence Police Department could not be immediately reached for comment. In her Facebook post, Brison wrote that “black people cannot continue to be treated this way,” especially during Black History Month. In 2016, Victoria’s Secret made headlines after a black woman was accused of stealing from an Alabama store. The store then kicked out all its black customers. Brison wrote that she later found out that the server who accused her and her friend of the crime remembered the suspects were two girls —

one who was skinny and one who wore makeup. “In 2018, is this really what we’re debased to? Our weight and whether or not we wore makeup. She could not recognize any facial features or any defining characteristics,” Brison wrote. She wrote: “This is a clear example of RACIAL PROFILING that should not be stood for. Just because we are black does not mean we are all criminals and I will not be treated as such.”

Nicki Minaj isn't missing, hiding or lying low because she's pregnant -- she's just been in beast mode working on making her next album a masterpiece. Sources close to Nicki tell us ... she

decided to ditch social media at the end of 2017 to fully focus on her music, which is why she's had no new posts since December 30. We're told she feels way more creative without the distractions of Instagram and Twitter.

Our sources say Minaj has been working night and day in the studio with major producers and rappers like Lil Wayne, Mack Maine and other Young Money acts ...

and she's going to continue to leave social media alone until the album's complete. Nicki's fans have expressed concern about her being MIA in 2018, which

culminated Monday with Wendy Williams launching a faux campaign on her show to help find her ... replete with a missing persons poster. But we're told all is well with Nicki -- she's happy, healthy, single and NOT pregnant, despite rumors.

As for the upcoming album ... our sources say some of the tracks are finished, and every song is going to be a hit. We're told it's expected to be released later this year ... and it's expected to be fire.

decided to ditch social media at the end of 2017 to fully focus on her music, which is why she's had no new posts since December 30. We're told she feels way more creative without the distractions of Instagram and Twitter.

Our sources say Minaj has been working night and day in the studio with major producers and rappers like Lil Wayne, Mack Maine and other Young Money acts ...

and she's going to continue to leave social media alone until the album's complete. Nicki's fans have expressed concern about her being MIA in 2018, which

culminated Monday with Wendy Williams launching a faux campaign on her show to help find her ... replete with a missing persons poster. But we're told all is well with Nicki -- she's happy, healthy, single and NOT pregnant, despite rumors.

As for the upcoming album ... our sources say some of the tracks are finished, and every song is going to be a hit. We're told it's expected to be released later this year ... and it's expected to be fire.

UPDATE!!!!!!!Nelly's attorney, Scott Rosenblum, tells us, "These allegations arose after Ms. Green amended her suit for money to include a reference to these claims. The fact that the police are investigating these claims is not new information and Nelly

welcomes a thorough investigation. Nelly is confident that once investigated, these claims will be determined to be disingenuous." He adds, "Nelly was accompanied by his girlfriend during this tour and she was at his side throughout. It is important that police investigate every allegation of this nature." Nelly is being criminally investigated for sexual assault in England ... JAMZ RADIO STATION ATLANTA

has learned. The incident allegedly went down December 5 after Nelly's performance at Cliffs Pavilion in Essex. The accuser says she went to take a picture with Nelly and she says he placed his arm tightly behind her and asked if she could stay behind to talk to him. They went to his dressing room with her friends and she says he then asked her to come to a room next door. She claims once in the room he dropped his

pants and began masturbating in front of her. She also claims he put his hand on her top and tried pulling it off. She says he also tried kissing her as she tried to bolt from the room. The woman says Nelly put his right hand on the back of her head and his left hand on her shoulder, forced her head down, pushing his erect penis into her mouth.

She says she ran out of the room as he called her a c***. The woman says she didn't go to cops immediately because she didn't think she'd be believed. Essex police told cops they have begun a sexual assault investigation. The alleged incident occurred 2 months after another woman claimed Nelly raped her on his tour bus. He strongly denied it. We've reached out to Nelly's rep for comment ... so far no word back.

Tamar Braxton's estranged husband is taking a very expensive L on a Rolls-Royce he once leased in Florida.

A Florida judge is ordering Vincent Herbert to fork over more than $65k after failing to make payments on a Rolls-Royce Wraith. According to docs, Vincent fell so far behind on the ride ... Manhattan Leasing Enterprises repo'd it.

They turned around and resold it, but since it was used, the company says it lost more than $62,000. Someone's gotta cover that, and the judge says that someone is Vincent, who never responded to Manhattan Leasing ...

so the judge entered a default judgment. The leasing co. is now trying to collect the cash in California, where Vincent lives. As Tamar might put it ... get in line.

Miley Cyrus has an obsessed fan who traveled cross-country -- without invitation -- to see her in person, and left some bizarre Facebook posts that forced cops to take him into custody ... JAMZ RADIO STATION ATLANTA has learned.

The guy is from the Milwaukee area, and a couple of weeks ago he wrote several posts referencing taking a trip to see Miley. He claims he knows her address, how best to enter her home and says they'll "finally get together." There's also a creepy thank you to Miley for "getting rid of Liam" ...

and some rambling commentary about a "horrific act" he's going to pull off that will be on the news. The posts caught the attention of a concerned citizen, who alerted Milwaukee police. According to law enforcement sources ... Milwaukee PD contacted LAPD and the L.A. Sheriff's Department to give them a heads up, and good thing they

did. We're told the guy actually did make his way to Los Angeles -- cops located him on Monday, interviewed him and took him in for psychological evaluation. They can hold him for up to 72 hours. It's unclear if Miley was aware of the apparent danger. We've reached out to her legal team

Travis Scott's undergoing a metamorphosis, and we don't mean changing diapers -- turns out the arrival of Stormi Webster is having a major effect on Dad's music. Sources connected to the rapper tell JAMZ RADIO STATION ATLANTA...

Travis has been on cloud nine since his first child's birth. Friends have noticed the normally stoic guy is now laughing a lot, and much calmer than usual. The best part, for fans at least, is we're told Travis' newfound peace is helping him hone his craft. He's been working on a new record, which his inner circle believes will be his best yet -- and our

sources say Stormi's getting props for it. Travis has been by Kylie Jenner's side before and after the birth, and we're told the new papa's become way more selective on which gigs he takes. As one source put it ... only serious cash will pry him away from his baby girl. Over the weekend, he was in his hometown of Missouri City,

Texas to get a key to the city -- and we're told he spent most of his free time on FaceTime with Kylie and Stormi. He's kinda like a doting sitcom dad now. Think Carl Winslow ... but with skills on the mic.

Kansas City Chiefs star running back Kareem Hunt was named in a police report by a 19-year-old woman who claims he shoved her during a heated hotel argument. But Hunt's friends told police the woman is lying -- claiming

SHE was the violent one who went berserk and called Kareem the N-word. Here's what EVERYBODY agrees on -- all the parties involved kicked things off Friday on a good note, tooling around Cleveland on a party bus and hitting at least 3 bars. Eventually they went back to the upscale hotel/apartment where 22-year-old Hunt has a residence -- the goal was to keep the party going. What ensued ...

two women were kicked out of Hunt's room and that's when the drama began. The Accuser's Side The accuser is a Kent State student who told police she was kicked out of the apartment because she didn't want to hook up with one of the men. The woman says she couldn't afford an Uber back to Kent State and

was too drunk to drive so she sat outside the apartment upset, trying to figure out how to get home. That's when a woman with Hunt's group came outside and told the accuser and her friend to go home. Kareem allegedly came out next and "shoved and pushed her" in an attempt to shoo her home. The accuser claims she suffered cuts and bruises to her knee, hand and chest. Hunt's Friends' Side But Hunt's friends paint a

different picture ... saying they refused to let the accuser and another female friend hang out when they learned the women were only 19 years old. One of Hunt's former college teammates told police the accuser went crazy after they were told to leave -- and "began calling him and Hunt the N-word and specifically she stated, 'F*ck you n*gger. You Ain't sh*t." The accuser allegedly punched one of Kareem's female friends in the face as she tried to deescalate the situation. Eventually cops were called to the scene and police took two reports. So far, no arrests have been made.

Mike Vick is officially out of the hole -- a judge has closed the book on his bankruptcy case after the ex-NFL star paid back more

than $17 million in debt. Vick filed for Chapter 11 back in 2008 after the infamous dog-fighting scandal -- when he lost his NFL salary and several lucrative endorsement deals. Vick owed approximately $17.6 MILLION to dozens

of creditors. But, Vick busted his ass to pay off his debts ever since he was reinstated with the Eagles in 2009. He reportedly made nearly $50 million in NFL salary in his 2nd stint in the league. According to the docs,

the outstanding debt was owed to Bank of America (related to one of his properties), BMW financial services, and his friendly neighborhood tax collector. Vick made his final

payment back in November -- and now a judge has officially closed the case, granting Vick's discharge and final decree. Congrats!

Cardi B isn't letting death threats from the Crips block her from a 6-figure payday over NBA All-Star Weekend -- it's all part of street life, as far as she's

concerned. Sources close to Cardi tell JAMZ RADIO ATLANTA ... she's sticking to her 3 scheduled appearances next week in L.A. -- including one with her fiance, Offset, and his Migos mates -- and she has no fear of gang retaliation.

Beyonce's going long -- really long -- when it comes to her hair, but super short when it comes to her fashion. Any complaints?

Didn't think so. Bey and Jay-Z were in Miami Thursday night for some business and some pleasure -- and she showed off an extended new 'do -- down below her famous cakes -- while rocking a miniskirt for a dinner date.

She and Jay were leaving Mandolin restaurant with some friends ... one of whom seemed to be doing an homage to "Lemonade" with her ensemble. Earlier in the day they were at a JP Morgan event, also attended

by the likes of A-Rod, because, well ... money. They've all got tons of it. As for Bey's long and lovely goldilocks -- one word: Flawless.

Steve Harvey says the guy suing him for a gigantic commission for one of Harvey's charities is a fraud. Harvey just filed legal docs firing back at

Vincent Dimmock, who claimed in his lawsuit he struck a deal with Harvey back in April to raise $20 million, and in return he was promised 12.5% of everything he raked in. He says he got a bunch of A-listers on board and even a former President ... with pledges totaling $20 mil. Harvey is calling BS, saying Dimmock

originally reached out to him to promote an energy drink, and when that went nowhere Harvey says Dimmock pivoted and falsely told him he had a billionaire in his pocket who would invest big in Harvey's charity.

Steve says he actually flew to Austin to meet the billionaire, and it quickly became evident the guy didn't know Dimmock at all. What's more, Harvey says neither the billionaire nor anyone else connected to Dimmock invested a penny in any of his ventures. Harvey says the entire charade was part of a scheme for Dimmock to meet him.

Nas needs to open his fat wallet a lot more now to support his kid ... at least that's what Kelis is gunning for. Kelis just filed legal docs saying $8k a month ain't cuttin' it anymore in the child support department.

She says 8-year-old Knight has needs he didn't have 5 years ago when the order was put in place. She says Nas is doing way better now than he was when the judge ordered him to cough up the $8k monthly support,

so he's more than able to foot the bill for various expenses. She's not specific as to how much more she wants, but whatever she gets, she wants add-ons to the base ... namely, 50% of school-related costs, 50% of any child care Kelis needs,

and 50% of unreimbursed health care. The judge has yet to rule.

Nine years ago, a young man by the name of WAKA FLOCKA FLAME burst onto the hip-hop scene with the energetic track "O Let's Do It," which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The Queens-born, Atlanta-raised musician's raps could've easily been mistaken for Southern trap, but paired with his rowdy tone and comedic (albeit violent) bars, Waka had a sound that was previously unheard.

Waka insists that he is in fact a trap music legend. "I’m the creator of 808s," the 31-year-old artist tells JAMZ 101.5 HD2 ATLANTA

during a recent phone interview. To his credit, Chicago spitters like G Herbo admit the "Trap My Ass Off" rapper created a wave with his amped-up street tracks. He made his lifestyle sound fun, when in actuality it was a road with a dangerous path.

With nearly a decade-long discography under his belt, Waka Flocka is now a seasoned hip-hop artist with a résumé that extends way beyond the genre that made him a star.

"Bustin' At 'Em" and "No Hands," the triple-platinum banger with Wale and Roscoe Dash. While Waka's reuniting with the latter artist on his upcoming work, he insists that he's not retreading old ground. “No, we are not gonna do another ‘No Hands,’" he says.

he's held on tight to the fourth drive, and while there's still no set release date, he says his third studio album is set to drop soon.

XXL caught up with Waka Flocka Flame to go in-depth about Flockaveli II, why he's a big fan of 6ix9ine and how his time making EDM records has strengthened his raps.

XXL: What should fans expect from Flockaveli II other than what's already been released?

It's just me. They gon be like “Hell yeah, this that Waka Flocka shit we want.” I always see people [and] they be like “When you gon put some Waka Flocka shit out, and not that EDM shit?” That’s what they always say.

That's understandable.

I had to run the bag up.

Are there any features on Flockaveli II?

Only me and my artists. This ain’t a compilation CD.

Tell us about one of the new rap artists on your roster.

Bob Lennon—he’s like a mixture of Bob Marley and John Lennon. His music sounds like art, like culture. Never met an artist that could do a whole song in one take, every verse. He literally remembers the whole record in his head and he go record it and don’t listen to himself when he record it. Just the beat.

The first Flockaveli made you a fan favorite. How does the Flockaveli II compare to the first one?

I’m not comparing them. I’m not trying to remake records. I’m not doing none of that. I want people to compare it. I wanna hear what people opinion is. I just know on Flockaveli II I’m snappin. Flockaveli II got a better delivery, better wordplay. It’s grimey.

The EDM lane has been treating you very well. What is the difference between EDM rap and hip-hop?

The concepts and delivery. [EDM likes] concept records, so I actually learned how to just stick to making concept records. EDM taught me how to rap.

How are the shows in comparison? EDM shows can get pretty crazy, but then again, your shows in general are, too.

Nothin' fuckin' with the hood clubs.

Which genre do you prefer?

Rap all day!

When it comes to new artists, who do you feel is taking over right now?

6ix9ine.

Why him?

His energy—he's happy, havin fun, not giving a fuck what anybody say. And everything he know people hate the most, he’s just throwing it in their face and capitalizing off of it. To see a young teen do shit like that, that’s ill.

On a more personal note, what are your goals for 2018?

My goals for 2018 are to drop some dope music, launch at least two of my tech companies and watch my wife blossom as an artist. Watch her put an album out and just live and be happy. I feel like my wife’s gon' help bring R&B back. Real R&B. 2018—dope music, family smiling, companies launching. And I pray my water company takes flight.

You have a water company?

I partnered up with a guy that created the best water in the world. We have H12O6 in a bottle. Our water is called Vitale Life Structured Water.

That’s dope. And what about these tech companies you’re launching?

It’s kind of a little quiet, but they coming. I know one of them you are for sure finna use.

Which one is that?

It’s pertaining to merchandise, and things that people love buying that they can’t get their hands on at the time they see it.

You also have your weed strain.

I have my own weed farm, [too].

In Michigan, right?

Yes. I have Flockaveli OG, I have Thunder OG. We got gas. No numbers, man.

Most of your fans know that you’re vegan, and in past interviews you’ve said that you embarked on that journey because you had gained some weight. Why did you decide to make it a lifestyle?

I actually stopped eating vegan—I’m eating pescatarian [now]. Only for the fact that I was missing shrimp and lobster tails. I’ve been eating pescatarian [since the last] half of 2017. For the month of February I’m going on a strict diet, and I’m just going back clean.

I don’t wanna be called vegan; the word vegan scares me. So I kinda ran away from that name and that culture and what it stands for. When you say you’re vegan, you try to [act] like you’re better than people, and you’re chastising people. So I just stepped back from that, and now I became what you call a conscious eater. I said, “Let me create my own way of eating now.” And a conscious eater is a person that’s conscious of the things they put in they mouth, and to just to elaborate on that, it’s a person that, in detail, knows exactly what the product is made of that they put in their mouth. They know exactly what these products are doing. And I’m a conscious eater now.

Are Tammy and Charlie pescatarian, too?

Hell yeah, they love it. They on some “eat clean, we gotta know where it came from.

Who cooks more?

Oh, Tammy—she’s an ill chef. I never in my life tasted nothing that was nasty Tammy cooked.

What’s one of your favorite pescatarian meals?

Stuffed shrimp pepper. Tammy be making these stuffed shrimp pepper [whistles]. Them muthafuckas so good. Oh my God. Damn, I’m about to call her and tell her to make that.

Nine years ago, a young man by the name of WAKA FLOCKA FLAME burst onto the hip-hop scene with the energetic track "O Let's Do It," which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The Queens-born, Atlanta-raised musician's raps could've easily been mistaken for Southern trap, but paired with his rowdy tone and comedic (albeit violent) bars, Waka had a sound that was previously unheard.

Waka insists that he is in fact a trap music legend. "I’m the creator of 808s," the 31-year-old artist tells JAMZ 101.5 HD2 ATLANTA

during a recent phone interview. To his credit, Chicago spitters like G Herbo admit the "Trap My Ass Off" rapper created a wave with his amped-up street tracks. He made his lifestyle sound fun, when in actuality it was a road with a dangerous path.

With nearly a decade-long discography under his belt, Waka Flocka is now a seasoned hip-hop artist with a résumé that extends way beyond the genre that made him a star.

"Bustin' At 'Em" and "No Hands," the triple-platinum banger with Wale and Roscoe Dash. While Waka's reuniting with the latter artist on his upcoming work, he insists that he's not retreading old ground. “No, we are not gonna do another ‘No Hands,’" he says.

he's held on tight to the fourth drive, and while there's still no set release date, he says his third studio album is set to drop soon.

XXL caught up with Waka Flocka Flame to go in-depth about Flockaveli II, why he's a big fan of 6ix9ine and how his time making EDM records has strengthened his raps.

XXL: What should fans expect from Flockaveli II other than what's already been released?

It's just me. They gon be like “Hell yeah, this that Waka Flocka shit we want.” I always see people [and] they be like “When you gon put some Waka Flocka shit out, and not that EDM shit?” That’s what they always say.

That's understandable.

I had to run the bag up.

Are there any features on Flockaveli II?

Only me and my artists. This ain’t a compilation CD.

Tell us about one of the new rap artists on your roster.

Bob Lennon—he’s like a mixture of Bob Marley and John Lennon. His music sounds like art, like culture. Never met an artist that could do a whole song in one take, every verse. He literally remembers the whole record in his head and he go record it and don’t listen to himself when he record it. Just the beat.

The first Flockaveli made you a fan favorite. How does the Flockaveli II compare to the first one?

I’m not comparing them. I’m not trying to remake records. I’m not doing none of that. I want people to compare it. I wanna hear what people opinion is. I just know on Flockaveli II I’m snappin. Flockaveli II got a better delivery, better wordplay. It’s grimey.

The EDM lane has been treating you very well. What is the difference between EDM rap and hip-hop?

The concepts and delivery. [EDM likes] concept records, so I actually learned how to just stick to making concept records. EDM taught me how to rap.

How are the shows in comparison? EDM shows can get pretty crazy, but then again, your shows in general are, too.

Nothin' fuckin' with the hood clubs.

Which genre do you prefer?

Rap all day!

When it comes to new artists, who do you feel is taking over right now?

6ix9ine.

Why him?

His energy—he's happy, havin fun, not giving a fuck what anybody say. And everything he know people hate the most, he’s just throwing it in their face and capitalizing off of it. To see a young teen do shit like that, that’s ill.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott were not stumped when it came to choosing their baby's name, and we know that because of the blanket

purchased for them in late January. Sources tell us ... Kylie was showered with lavish gifts from Petit Tresor in Beverly Hills, and one item was a light grey baby alpaca blanket from a Kardashian sister. We're told the blanket was customized

to be XL-sized with "Stormi" embroidered on it in black, block lettering. As we reported ... Kylie's kiddo was born February 1. Our sources say the blanket's just one of the high-end gifts the family bought for Kylie/Stormi at the store.

Caitlyn Jenner apparently dropped around $3,000 on baby stuff. The items range from diaper bags at $250 a pop -- one for both Kylie and Travis --

to a $1,500 black and white stroller and a $1,000 white rocking sheep ... made from real sheepskin. Listen Live: www.jamz101fm.com
